"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 103I.235, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [DISCLOSURE OF WELLS TO BUYER.] (a)(1) Before signing an agreement to sell or transfer
real property, the seller must disclose in writing to the buyer information about the status and location of all known
wells on the property, by delivering to the buyer either a statement by the seller that the seller does not know of any
wells on the property, or a disclosure statement indicating the legal description and county, and a map drawn from
available information showing the location of each well to the extent practicable. In the disclosure statement, the
seller must indicate, for each well, whether the well is in use, not in use, or sealed.
(2) Before signing an agreement to sell or transfer real property in Washington county that is not served by a
municipal water system, the seller must state in writing to the buyer whether, to the seller's knowledge, the property
is located within a special well construction area designated by the commissioner of health under Minnesota Rules,
part 4725.3650. If the disclosure under clause (1) states that there is an unsealed well on the property, the disclosure
required under this clause must be made regardless of whether the property is served by a municipal water system.
(b) At the time of closing of the sale, the disclosure statement information required under paragraph (a), clause
(1), name and mailing address of the buyer, and the quartile, section, township, and range in which each well is
located must be provided on a well disclosure certificate signed by the seller or a person authorized to act on behalf
of the seller.
(c) A well disclosure certificate need not be provided if the seller does not know of any wells on the property and
the deed or other instrument of conveyance contains the statement: "The Seller certifies that the Seller does not
know of any wells on the described real property."
(d) If a deed is given pursuant to a contract for deed, the well disclosure certificate required by this subdivision
shall be signed by the buyer or a person authorized to act on behalf of the buyer. If the buyer knows of no wells on
the property, a well disclosure certificate is not required if the following statement appears on the deed followed by
the signature of the grantee or, if there is more than one grantee, the signature of at least one of the grantees: "The
26TH DAY]

Grantee certifies that the Grantee does not know of any wells on the described real property." The statement and
signature of the grantee may be on the front or back of the deed or on an attached sheet and an acknowledgment of
the statement by the grantee is not required for the deed to be recordable.
(e) This subdivision does not apply to the sale, exchange, or transfer of real property:
(1) that consists solely of a sale or transfer of severed mineral interests; or
(2) that consists of an individual condominium unit as described in chapters 515 and 515B.
(f) For an area owned in common under chapter 515 or 515B the association or other responsible person must
report to the commissioner by July 1, 1992, the location and status of all wells in the common area. The association
or other responsible person must notify the commissioner within 30 days of any change in the reported status of
wells.
(g) For real property sold by the state under section 92.67, the lessee at the time of the sale is responsible for
compliance with this subdivision.
(h) If the seller fails to provide a required well disclosure certificate, the buyer, or a person authorized to act on
behalf of the buyer, may sign a well disclosure certificate based on the information provided on the disclosure
statement required by this section or based on other available information.
(i) A county recorder or registrar of titles may not record a deed or other instrument of conveyance dated after
October 31, 1990, for which a certificate of value is required under section 272.115, or any deed or other instrument
of conveyance dated after October 31, 1990, from a governmental body exempt from the payment of state deed tax,
unless the deed or other instrument of conveyance contains the statement made in accordance with paragraph (c) or
(d) or is accompanied by the well disclosure certificate containing all the information required by paragraph (b) or
(d). The county recorder or registrar of titles must not accept a certificate unless it contains all the required
information. The county recorder or registrar of titles shall note on each deed or other instrument of conveyance
accompanied by a well disclosure certificate that the well disclosure certificate was received. The notation must
include the statement "No wells on property" if the disclosure certificate states there are no wells on the property.
The well disclosure certificate shall not be filed or recorded in the records maintained by the county recorder or
registrar of titles. After noting "No wells on property" on the deed or other instrument of conveyance, the county
recorder or registrar of titles shall destroy or return to the buyer the well disclosure certificate. The county recorder
or registrar of titles shall collect from the buyer or the person seeking to record a deed or other instrument of
conveyance, a fee of $30 for receipt of a completed well disclosure certificate. By the tenth day of each month, the
county recorder or registrar of titles shall transmit the well disclosure certificates to the commissioner of health. By
the tenth day after the end of each calendar quarter, the county recorder or registrar of titles shall transmit to the
commissioner of health $27.50 of the fee for each well disclosure certificate received during the quarter. The
commissioner shall maintain the well disclosure certificate for at least six years. The commissioner may store the
certificate as an electronic image. A copy of that image shall be as valid as the original.
(j) No new well disclosure certificate is required under this subdivision if the buyer or seller, or a person
authorized to act on behalf of the buyer or seller, certifies on the deed or other instrument of conveyance that the
status and number of wells on the property have not changed since the last previously filed well disclosure
certificate. The following statement, if followed by the signature of the person making the statement, is sufficient to
comply with the certification requirement of this paragraph: "I am familiar with the property described in this
instrument and I certify that the status and number of wells on the described real property have not changed since
the last previously filed well disclosure certificate." The certification and signature may be on the front or back of
the deed or on an attached sheet and an acknowledgment of the statement is not required for the deed or other
instrument of conveyance to be recordable.

[26TH DAY
(k) The commissioner in consultation with county recorders shall prescribe the form for a well disclosure
certificate and provide well disclosure certificate forms to county recorders and registrars of titles and other

(1) the validity of a deed or other instrument of conveyance as between the parties to the deed or instrument or as
to any other person who otherwise would be bound by the deed or instrument; or
(2) the record, as notice, of any deed or other instrument of conveyance accepted for filing or recording contrary
to the provisions of this subdivision.

The applicable administrative penalties under this section must be doubled in the event the licensee or an
employee of the licensee does not verify the age of a person attempting to purchase tobacco and the licensee or an
employee of the licensee sells tobacco to a person who is not of legal age to purchase tobacco. No suspension or
penalty may take effect until the licensee has received notice, served personally or by mail, of the alleged violation
and an opportunity for a hearing before a person authorized by the licensing authority to conduct the hearing. In
determining the amount of a penalty and the length of a license suspension, the local licensing authority shall take
into consideration as mitigating circumstances evidence provided by a licensee of a licensee's adoption and
enforcement of a written employee policy to prevent the sale of tobacco to minors, a licensee's training program to
instruct employees on applicable laws and how to prevent sales of tobacco to minors, a licensee's adoption and
imposition of disciplinary sanctions for employee noncompliance with the licensee's policies, a licensee's policy of
conducting voluntary internal compliance checks to test compliance with section 609.685, and whether a licensee or
a licensee's employee electronically verified the age of the customer during the transaction in question and
reasonably relied on the age verification to complete the sale. A decision that a violation has occurred must be in
writing and must include a summary of the mitigating circumstances considered by the local licensing authority in
assessing a penalty or a license suspension.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 461.12, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
Subd. 6. [DEFENSE.] It is an affirmative defense to the charge of selling tobacco to a person under the age of
18 years in violation of subdivision 2 or 3 that the licensee or individual making the sale relied in good faith upon
proof of age as described in section 340A.503, subdivision 6, and electronically verified the age of the purchaser of
tobacco and reasonably relied upon the electronic age verification to complete the sale of tobacco.
Sec. 3. [461.131] [ELECTRONIC AGE VERIFICATION FOR TOBACCO SALES.]
No licensee or employee of the licensee shall disseminate, resell, or utilize the information displayed or retained
as a result of the electronic age verification process for any reason other than to offer proof to a local licensing
authority or a court of law that the licensee or licensee's employee electronically verified the age of the purchaser of
tobacco and reasonably relied upon the electronic age verification to complete the sale of tobacco. Any person who
violates this section is liable for a civil penalty of not less than $100, nor more than $10,000 for each violation. The
commissioner of commerce shall enforce this section and has the powers available to the commissioner under
section 45.027. Any individual aggrieved by a violation of this section may also bring an action under section 8.31,
subdivision 3a, to recover damages, cost, and attorney fees.
Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 461.19, is amended to read:
461.19 [EFFECT ON LOCAL ORDINANCE; NOTICE.]
Sections 461.12 to 461.18 do not preempt a local ordinance that provides for more restrictive regulation of
tobacco sales., except that on and after the effective date of this act, a licensing authority shall not assess or impose a
penalty on a licensee or an employee of a licensee that is greater than the administrative penalties set forth in section
461.12, subdivisions 2 and 3, if the licensee or employee of the licensee has electronically verified the age of the
person attempting to purchase tobacco. A governing body shall give notice of its intention to consider adoption or
substantial amendment of any local ordinance required under section 461.12 or permitted under this section. The
governing body shall take reasonable steps to send notice by mail at least 30 days prior to the meeting to the last
known address of each licensee or person required to hold a license under section 461.12. The notice shall state the
time, place, and date of the meeting and the subject matter of the proposed ordinance.

incorporation; and
Whereas, the occurrence of a particularly brilliant display of Northern Lights inspired the name of Aurora for the

freedom and way of life continue through the two great wars, the Cold War, and other disputes around the
world; and
Whereas, terrorists abroad and in the United States may attempt to cause division, but the citizens of Aurora
remain proud of their ethnic and religious heritage, and that they are all Americans working to make their country
and community an example for all the world to follow; and
Whereas, as regional economic uncertainty prevails, the city of Aurora is working to create jobs and ensure that
homes, schools, parks, and streets are well maintained; Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that it honors Aurora as it celebrates
100 years of growth and continued economic development.
Be It Further Resolved that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to prepare an
enrolled copy of this resolution, to be authenticated by his signature and that of the Speaker, and transmit it to
the mayor of Aurora.
